COM. REP. NO. 1583
Honolulu, Hawaii
, 2021
RE: H.C.R. No. 70
Honorable Scott K. Saiki
Speaker, House of Representatives
Thirty-First State Legislature
Regular Session of 2021
State of Hawaii
Sir:
Your Committee on Consumer Protection & Commerce, to which was referred H.C.R. No. 70 entitled:
"HOUSE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE SALE OF A LEASE OF CERTAIN SUBMERGED LANDS AT KANEOHE BAY, KANEOHE, OAHU, FOR RECREATIONAL BOAT PIER PURPOSES, BY PUBLIC AUCTION,"
begs leave to report as follows:
The
purpose of this measure is to
authorize the Board of Land and Natural Resources to lease a portion of state
submerged lands at Kaneohe Bay, Kaneohe, Oahu, at public auction for
recreational boat pier purposes.
Your
Committee finds that Kaneohe Yacht Club is a domestic nonprofit 501(c)(7)
corporation under the Internal Revenue Code and was originally registered in
1938 with the purpose of yachting, boating, and other recreational
activities. Your Committee further finds
that Kaneohe Yacht Club has a revocable permit for the state submerged lands,
but a long‑term disposition would be preferable. Under existing state law, Kaneohe Yacht Club
is not eligible for a direct lease and the more appropriate alternative would
be a sale of the lease by public auction.
This measure will authorize the sale of the lease by public auction for
state submerged lands at Kaneohe Bay for recreational boat pier purposes.
As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Consumer Protection & Commerce that is attached to this report, your Committee concurs with the intent and purpose of H.C.R. No. 70 and recommends its adoption.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Consumer Protection & Commerce,
